B17 swap on an EF

[thermal]

Is a f**kin' nightmare! OBDo conversion + B17 suks so bad that we ended up swapping out wire harnesses from another EF... the whole harness to include ECU to engine bay to even lighting. We are almost done tho. The OBD2 B18C5 swap into an OBD1 delsol was way easier. Anyway, just a heads up to everyone

is this ANOTHER project car, or are you just lending a hand?

b17a1 is gsr and b17b is ls/gs/rs. right?

i was going to do a B17a1 and i realized the difficultys and decided not to. plus finding parts for a B17a1 is hell. no one makes anything for it really. unless you do overnight shipping from japan. which cost a shit load for just a part. not worth the swap in my opinion.

but good luck and have fun. let me know how it goes.

I was jst helping out somebody on the swap. The problem was, they really never done it before. So for the most part, we were all putting out heads together and just apply what makes sense.

[IALuder]

thanks hondaman for the correct engine codes.

Oh yea, Gotta love the 1.7 170hp B16 knockoff. Wierd motor really - quite uncommon but a great find none the less. Cable tranny as well am i right?

[IALuder]

yes, cable tranny.

its a 1.7 160HP 117TQ and dohc. very nice motor and a rare find indeed.

I paid for his dyno the same day I dynoed mine. Completely stock B17, he pulled off 140whp and 100ft/lbs torque on a light a$$ car. We have plans to turbo that low compression engine...

[pdiggitydogg]

hey good numbers :yes:
I thought the b17 was 10:1 compression though....

[thermal]

The owner told me that it's on the 9's..... I'm gonna kick his a$$. We do plan to turbo that sh!t. :yes:

I found this:

10.0:1 You da man Pdigg

[pdiggitydogg]

see all that useless honda knowledge takes up too much room!
No room for turbo info and knowledge for things I should know....


eh just throw a cometic thick headgasket on there

[thermal]

Good find. I'm looking do drop the compression on mind a little. I'm looking into products by in-line pro or GReddy.....

[pdiggitydogg]

i hear people that really like the cometic gaskets
Im not too sure what their prices are though...
